Jacksonville Depo-Provera® Lawyers
The past 20 years have seen a dramatic rise in the number of birth control methods available to women, and Depo-Provera, a birth control injection, was originally lauded for its unique approach to birth control. Unfortunately, a Depo-Provera shot can cause nightmarish complications for some women. Read on for more information on the risks of Depo-Provera and more information on patients' rights.
Depo-Provera was approved in 1992 after more than a decade of popularity in Europe, and quickly became a popular method of birth control due to its unique characteristics: it is injected and requires no pills. However, in 2004 the FDA forced Pfizer, the drug's manufacturer, to include a black-box warning with every box of Depo-Provera due to the drug's role in lessened bone density in some women. The drug has been found to contribute to what the FDA calls "significant" loss in bone density, which increases with every Depo shot. This weakening may be irreversible. Due to these concerns, both Pfizer and the FDA recommend that women cease use of Depo-Provera after just two years.
Unfortunately, these increased warnings cannot help women who experience bone loss due to Depo-Provera use get their bone density back. Many have chosen to file defective product lawsuits against Pfizer, seeking compensation for their bone loss and associated problems, the costs of medical treatment and ongoing care, and associated costs like lost wages and pain and suffering. But taking on a huge drug company isn't easy: in order to prevail in a Depo-Provera lawsuit, a woman must have an experienced, aggressive, and competent attorney on her side.
